If you notice any of these, your care routine needs a boost:

• The draw feels tight or restricted.
• The vapor looks thin, even with a fresh battery.
• The flavor tastes muted, burnt, or just 'off'.
• Residue is visible on the mouthpiece.

Any one of these means you're due for a cleaning. If you're already cleaning regularly and still see these signs, the device is at the end of its life. Retire it responsibly.

A weak-tasting vape isn't usually a mystery. It's either dirty or done. The daily 30-second wipe keeps the common culprits at bay, and the weekly deep clean handles the rest. When cleaning stops working, trust that the coil is finished and move on.

Remember, this is general advice for adult vape users 21+. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific device, and dispose of used vapes according to local regulations. If you're unsure, check with the brand's support or a trusted retailer.
